Introduction

KDE hosts a variety of websites, from the highly dynamic to info, documentation, and promotional sites. Volunteering involves very different aspects ranging from:

writing content
moderating in the forum
coordinating announcements
staying in contact with KDE developers to be aware of latest changes
administering dynamic sites like forum, wikis
watching out for spammers in those
enhancing functionality of the codebase
styling/designing the look of our sites
etc etc

The web team works closely with the promo and the sysadmin teams to make sure that KDE has a nice-looking and functional web presence.

Getting involved

Coding

KDE primarily uses Hugo for its websites. In most cases, running a website locally consists of installing Go and Hugo (preferably Hugo Extended version 0.134), and then:

git clone <repository-link>
cd <cloned-repository>
hugo server

A few special websites might have additional instructions on how to set up local development, like the main KDE.org website, Planet KDE, or the KDE Developer platform.

You can read more about developing with Hugo in the Hugo KDE repository wiki. You might also want to check out the Hugo KDE repository itself, as it's where most HTML/SCSS/JS development happens.

To create a new Hugo website from scratch, you will want to read the Tutorial from scratch and take a look at the Hugo KDE Website Template.

Lastly, to deploy our websites, we use Continuous Delivery (CD).

In addition to Hugo, we also use MediaWiki for our wikis, and Jekyll in some rare cases.

KDE's web needs steadily change, and there is always room for coders who are able to contribute HTML, SCSS, or JS. Contributing is a matter of:

Visiting our Matrix group: #kde-www:kde.org
Checking out the list of KDE Websites
Start hacking!

Contacting the KDE Web team

Documentation

Setting up kde.org or other capacity based website on your computer

In order to do any development you will want to have a local version of the websites to test before committing. The instructions for how to set this up are here: Local Website Setup.

KDE's MediaWiki instance are using the family setup.

The theme is located at Aether-mediawiki gitlab and the extensions are the following:

ConfirmEdit
DocumentationTags
Contribution_Scores
DynamicPageList_(third-party)
EmbedVideo
ImageMap
ParserFunctions
MassEditRegex
LiquidThreads
SpamBlacklist
TitleBlacklist
UserMerge
Interwiki
Matomo
Nuke
And the translation bundle

Documentation for the Jekyll theme

You can find the documentation for the Jekyll theme in the project README and a Tutorial is available at KDE.org/Jekyll.

Documentation for the cdn export (webpack)

The code is available at websites/aether-sass.

Websites using this theme:

The wikis: userbase, techbase and community
kde.org/applications
kde.org

Documentation for Capacity

The current default framework for many *.kde.org domains is the /media-framework, aka Capacity. Any documentation about this should go here:
